What happens to a call

  1. After hours, the call goes to voicemail, or to your after-hours number.
  2. In hours, a number with a menu plays it first; the caller's choice rings that choice's ring group.
  3. The ring group rings everyone in it at once.
  4. If nobody answers, the caller can leave a voicemail, which is transcribed.

The caller's number is matched to your customers, so you see who's calling.
